Sweet deal: UTSA ice cream socials kick off SECC

(Sept. 26, 2007)--Beginning Monday, Oct. 1, UTSA staff and faculty will have the opportunity to contribute to the State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC). Running Oct. 1-19, the campaign benefits some 500 nonprofit agencies that provide social, health, environmental, arts and education services on a local, state, national and international level.

"SECC is a great way for UTSA to give back to the community," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "I encourage UTSA faculty and staff members to participate in any amount they are comfortable with. As they say, don't give until it hurts... give until it feels good."
